Congratulations!

Former Duluth resident Kara Goucher revealed she has a rare neurological disorder that affects her ability to run.

This is what dreams are made of.

It's Grandma's Marathon time again! ESPN 560 WEBC and Townsquare Media are proud sponsors of this world-class event, and we're excited to bring you live radio and streaming coverage from start to finish!

For many people they train all year to take on running a marathon , but for this super athlete a marathon is a training run, so why not do it in flip flops?

MIX 108 and our sister station ESPN 560 are proud to be involved with Grandma's Marathon, and we welcome the thousands of visitors that come to be part of the festivities. We're also excited to be bringing you the race experience live online and over the airwaves if you aren't able to join us at the event in person.

It's Grandma's Marathon week, and the Twin Ports are abuzz with people preparing to participate in all of the festivities surrounding the challenging run from the Two Harbors area to Canal Park.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard that Grandma's Marathon is fast approaching.  No, even if you've been under a rock you still know it's coming.  We know that THOUSANDS of people will soon flock to our cities by the sea--er--lake and bring money with them.  Money that they spend here!  Some residents flee, leaving for the weekend to avoid the traffic delays, the crowds,

Dozer, a three year-old golden doodle, ran most of the Maryland Half Marathon last week. Unbeknownst to his owners, Dozer broke free of his electric fence and joined up with the road race when its participants ran past his front yard -- which sat at about the five mile mark of the half marathon.

It was likely meant to be a joke, but nude marathon runner Brett S. Henderson wasn't laughing Sunday when he got tased by police officers and slapped with public indecency and obstructing official business charges. The 35-year-old Cincinnati resident was running -- sans clothes -- in Sunday's Flying Pig Marathon when police confronted him.
